CURTIS CAMPBELL, STAR Writer
JB Rum's Bikini Sundayz might not have been a jam-packed party. However, the patrons seemed to enjoy the vibe that the selectors brought to the shore of Waves beach in Portmore on Sunday. We arrived at the venue at 9:30 p.m., and some patrons were already gyrating to the selections of DJ Crazy Dean, who played old dancehall classics such as Vybz Kartel's Karl Kani and Shaggy's Hey Sexy Lady. Some patrons were seen heading to the bar, while others sipped on liquor while watching the Super Bowl match on a huge projector that was erected on the beach. The dj did not do much interacting with the audience in the initial stages; however, several bikini-clad ladies still felt the energy, especially when the DJ played Assassin's Bad Mind. Some males were also seen performing choreographed moves. The vibe further intensified when the selector started playing hardcore dancehall songs such as Mad Cobra's Press Trigger and Singer J's I am Not Afraid. After roars of approval from the audience, the selector decided to play some 'uplifting' dancehall music. "Yu have some people, everyday dem get up and a sey nothing naah gwaan. Get up and guh mek something happen and stop complain," the dj yelled before playing Mavado's Survivor, Jah Vinci's Guide Me and Mavado's Hope and Pray. "Mi a pray fi Vybz Kartel come from prison, mi a pray fi Buju Banton free up from captivity," he said to an encouraging response. At 10 p.m., it was time to 'bruk out' to songs like Demarco's Love A Come Down, Aidonia's Love Mi Good, Spice's Jim Screechie and Aidonia's Jack Hammer. dancing flexibility These songs heightened the experience to another level, as some acrobatic females took to the sand to display their dancing flexibility, while the selector cheered them along. And when Potential Kidd's Chicken Gravy and Urgency were played, patrons were heard singing out, "A ya suh nice, a yah suh nice." At 11 p.m., the selector went 'ole skool' reggae, stating that it was Jamaica's 50th anniversary. He then played Buju Banton's Destiny, Bob Marley's Natural Mystic and Bounty Killer's Fear No Evil. The STAR team left the venue at midnight, leaving behind a venue full of gyrating females and partying celebrities like Delus from Sub Konshus Records, and dancehall enigma the Sherlock Family.
